Suspected Boko Haram fighters have attacked a village in Nigeria's Borno state, close to the border with Chad, Al Jazeera has learned.

The attack on the northeastern village of Doron Baga is the latest in a string of attacks in the area involving Boko Haram, an armed group claming to be fighting Western influence and for the creation of an Islamic state.

Doron Baga has been repeatedly attacked and, in August this year, was the scene of intense battles between Boko Haram and both the Nigerian military and multinational security forces operating in the area.
